A Divisional General in the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars, he was present at the Battle of Jemappes on 6 November 1792 and led the Reserve Division at the subsequent Siege of Namur. == Family origins == The origins of the general's family are found in the Third Crusade. The earliest reference to the family is from 1191, when a certain Simon de Harville is recorded as having been in the city of Acre. Another Simon de Harville, possibly a different one, is known by the charters since ''Simon de Harville, Knight, living in 1223''. Around the year 1360, Pierre, the son of Simon, moved from Harville in Beauce to Les Bordes, today part of La Celle-les-Bordes. In the year 1383, Guillaume I de Harville was a falconer for Louis of France, Count of Valois, Duke of Orleans, brother of King Charles VI. He married Jeanne de Voise, and had issue. His son, Guillaume II, écuyer, seigneur de Champhoudry et des Bordes, Echanson du Roi, built the Château des Bordes, which is still standing. He married Jeanne Le Brun in 1397, and was killed in the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, along with his brother-in-law, Jacques Le Brun. Guillaume III de Harville was born in 1399. His mother inherited the fief of Palaiseau when her brother died, but it passed to the English king for several years before being returned. He married on August 8, 1436 to Anne de Coustes, sister of Louis de Coustes, who testified at the trial of Saint Joan of Arc. For being one of the few knights in Île-de-France who remained loyal to King Charles VII of France, he would be raised to a baron in 1436. He died around 1470. Anne-Esprit de Harville, the grandson of Guillaume III, was colonel du régiment des légionnaire de Normandie. In 1553, he was inducted into the Order of Saint Michael. His son, Claude, a courtier, advisor, and friend of Henry IV of France built the Château de La Celle in 1610. He fought in the Battle of Ivry, and took part in the capture of Corbeil in 1590. He was also a vice admiral of the French royal navy. He is buried in the Church of Saint Martin in Palaiseau. Despite his military successes, he was tragically predeceased by three sons. There is a portrait of him hanging in the dining room of the Château which he had built. Claude's grandson, François, became in 1650 the heir his grand-uncle, François II Jouvenel des Ursins. He had a prestigious military career, attaining the rank of Maréchal des camp, and posts such as Gouverneur des ville et citadelle de Charleville et Mont-Olympe. His son, Esprit Jouvenel de Harville des Ursins, was Maréchal des camp in 1704, and and in 1710, became Lieutenant-général des Armées du Roi. His grandson, Claude-Constant-Esprit Jouvenel des Ursins d'Harville, married in 1744 to Marie-Antoinette Goyon de Matignon, the daughter of Thomas, son of the celebrated Marshal of France, Charles-Auguste. He also had a distinguished military career. He was Capitaine de cavalerie au régiment Dauphin, taking part in the Battle of Fontenoy in 1745, and the capture of the Electorate of Hanover and subsequent French defeat in the Battle of Minden in 1759. In 1773, he founded the coal mining company ''Compagnie des mines d'Aniche'', which became of the most important mining companies of France, lasting until it was nationalized by the French government after World War II. To top it all off, he became a Knight Commander of Order of Saint Louis and a Knight Grand Cross in 1781. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Louis-Auguste Juvénal des Ursins d'Harville」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
